The other day you were complaining that the new airline rules require that you remove your jacket for inspection, but that impedes on personal freedoms. And now you're calling for the banning of drinking and smoking? Puhleaze...
Nobody is ever allowed to leave my house drunk, or even with a couple beers in them. No excuses. It's not allowed. Period. And everyone knows that. If you want to drink, you're crashing on the couch.
This very simple rule based on RESPONSIBILITY would save all of those very unfortunate deaths that happen every year. I'm not giving up my Jack because some fuckstick has no responsibility and doesn't care about others.
Unfortunate situation Donovon, I'm sorry for your loss.
